I cannot stand it any longer!!! I have a beautiful new OTTB I'm picking up tomorrow and I wanted to share with everyone!! His name is LaLa, he is 7 years old, and an OTTB (Stopped racing at 4). He is also a TOTAL sweetheart!! This picture is obviously not a posed pic, so while critiques are VERY much appreciated, please be kind ;)

He has been trained in hunters but I'm hoping he will love Eventing as much as I do! So that is the game plan! I feel like I'm floating on air at the moment, and I couldn't be happier!!!! :winkgrin:

CONGRATS! He is SO handsome, and his pedigree is very similar, on Sire's side, as my OTTB, who is absolutely perfect!

Update us with new pics and info when you can!

Well I just picked him up! He was wonderful and even waited while his trailer buddy got his teeth done. Perfect gentleman :) he loves carrots and loves to bury his face in your chest, but not in a pushy way. He's quite respectful of people's space and he has a great mind :) there were some PCer's running around the barn as well, and I was really impressed when a 7 yr old girl came up and gave him a hug and a kiss and he just stood there and didn't move til she wasout of the way. I am so in love witht his horse and I haven't even gotten him to the farm yet! Pictures coming soon!!

And since his name is LaLa, I was thinking perhaps Bad Romance for a show name? ;) just food for thought :)

He sounds like a really good guy! Congratulations!! :D

I absolutely love the name. The first thing that came to my mind was the song by the Stylistics - "Lalala Means I Love You" - and it certainly sounds like you are head over heels in love. :yes:

Love the show name Bad Romance though too!
